Sociological Theory and the Environment is a comprehensive survey and assessment of sociological theories of the relations between societies and their 'natural' biophysical environment. This book touches on and addresses virtually all of the major perspectives, focal points, and debates in environmental sociology today-classical and twentieth century social theories, macro-micro linkage issues, globalization and development, reflexive modernization, ecological modernization vs. 'limits' viewpoints, modernity and post modernity, risk society, constructionalism-realism, environmental movements/identities, consumption and environment, cultural sociologies of the environment, and so on. At the same time, the book aims to go beyond an inventory of environmental sociological theory. Sociological Theory and the Environment stresses how new ground can be broken in the articulation of environmental sociology with major classical and contemporary sociological theories.

Illinois Statement on Fan Behavior
Feb. 8, 2008 Champaign, Ill. - "There was a great college basketball game played Thursday night between the University of Illinois and Indiana University, but the game has been somewhat diminished by inappropriate behavior by a number of fans in attendance. We value the enthusiastic support of the sellout crowds at the Assembly Hall, but above all we take very seriously the reputation of our basketball program and the University of Illinois. The profanity and behavior by a small segment of fans Thursday night is disappointing and intolerable, and for that we apologize to fans of both teams." |

Bumfights for America |
By: Attaturk Thursday February 7, 2013 1:30 am |
Karl Rove's $300 million sinkhole, American Crossroads, announced it planned to spend 2014 electing the kind of allegedly less crazy Republicans that focus on starting new wars and setting up global torture programs (as opposed to bi-partisan extrajudicial drone-killings).
Well the Ayn Randian wing of the GOP is not going to take this, they are going to "putsch-back".
A long night, with a lot of great news…the 47% woke up and rejected womb-control, anti-gay bigotry and teabaggery |
By: Pam Spaulding Wednesday November 7, 2012 10:50 am |
That was a long night of election coverage. The President won handily, Elizabeth Warren won, Wisconsin is sending the first out lesbian to the U.S. Senate (Tammy Baldwin), marriage equality was affirmed (Maine, Maryland, and it looks like Washington state also) and discrimination rejected (Minnesota) where it was on the ballot, and so many of 2012 icons of misogyny, religion-based bigotry, and extremist teabaggery went down in flames last night (Akin, Mourdock, Allen West, Joe Walsh, etc.).
Seeing a Flock of Moons |
By: cocktailhag Thursday November 1, 2012 8:00 pm |
Never do I feel so powerless and deflated in my role as a citizen as I do toward the end of an election season, but 2012 is quickly reaching a new level of awfulness. I just can't wait for this to be over. From the top of the ticket on down (except for a few bright spots I'll get to later), the dispiriting sense that "winning" can only be called such because losing is flat-out unthinkable, given that almost half of the electorate is evidently willing and eager to elect into office a party that holds them in utter contempt.
The Douchebag Factor |
By: cocktailhag Thursday October 11, 2012 8:00 pm |
Tonight, millions of Americans will settle in for a debate between a fresh-faced prodigy from Middle America with a lot of Big Ideas (not to mention cat food hot dish recipes), go head to head with a tired Washington Insider with an admittedly undisciplined mouth. But only one of them is a douchebag.

Late Night: A Certain Personality |
By: cocktailhag Thursday July 5, 2012 8:00 pm |
Whenever you listen to a Republican politician, be it, say, Eric Cantor, Joe Walsh, or Chris Christie, it's natural to wonder how, in Heaven's name, they manage to reproduce; could anyone, even their mothers, love them? The sneering insults, serial fabrications, loathsome arrogance, pig-headed stupidity, and utter lack of empathy or self-awareness would be stunning and repellent to behold individually, yet most of them are mountainous, steaming piles of all these traits, put together. In fact, those who fail to embody every possible obnoxious personality defect under the sun, and then some, are doomed to be dismissed by their base as closet liberals.
Or worse.

Rep. Walsh's Rant Pathetic, and Also Indicative of Washington's No-Accountability Policy |
By: David Dayen Thursday November 10, 2011 6:06 am |
It's almost not even worth getting to Walsh's core charge, that the government forced banks to lend to people who couldn't pay them back. I suppose the government forced banks to slice up those loans into securities and then either lose the paperwork or fail to honor the procedures demanded by the pooling and servicing agreements. Or the government forced banks to sell the securities to investors without telling them they were taking the other side of the bet against the securities. Or that they knew about the irregularities with the loans, and received them at a discount from the originators, without passing on the information to investors who thought the loans were highly rated and perfectly legitimate. And on and on.
Rep. Joe Walsh Accepts "Pro-Family" Award, No One Mentions Owed Child Support |
By: Alvin McEwen Tuesday November 8, 2011 7:45 am |
The Family Research Council is the organization that recently awarded Congressman Joe Walsh an award for supposedly fighting for "family values" even though Walsh owes over $100,000 in child support. Walsh's statement accepting the award takes today's hypocrisy award.

Parking in Vancouver
DW and I are sailing on the Wonder to Alaska at the end of May. We live in Northern California and decided to take the scenic route and drive to Vancouver instead of fly. I have read the Vancouver thread and it talks about reserving a parking spot ahead of time. Is this necessary? Can we get a spot when we get there or does it fill up completely? Any help is much appreciated!
We are also driving from No. California and have going back and forth with parking at Canada Place vs finding a hotel with Park and Sail. Park and sail definitely cheaper, but they only seem to offer transportation TO the port, not BACK to the hotel after the cruise.......I just remember waiting over an hour in the sweltering August humidity last year (FL) for DH to go and pick up the rental car so we could save $60.
I think convienience might win this time. |
It's hard to accept the $200 price tag for parking for the week but it is what it is. It's the one thing I haven't booked yet because I hate the thought of it but I will suck it up and book it by the end of the week for our cruise in June.
I'm not sure that you have to reserve a spot but if you know you are going to be parking there it's better to be safe in my opinion. |
Or just take a cab back, if they do truly only offer transport one way. |

I haven't seen this sense of unity since 9/11, really, really, and 9/11 was this tragic experience that brought us all together and now we're all brought together in the name of hope. Not since 9/11 have I experienced anything even kind of close to this.Of course, the 47 percent who voted for McCain may not share Winfrey's unity.
She had prefaced that contention: "It's my town. My town's been vibrating all day. I mean, from the moment I left the building this morning -- the doorman, everybody vibrates, just great. It's one of the greatest experiences of, certainly my lifetime and it's been wonderful, I think, for everybody in the country who has called somebody or somebody has called them. Everybody was e-mailing everybody standing in line."

Application DetailsI applied online – interviewed at J.P. Morgan in July 2013.
Interview DetailsI had applied to the position a month or two before the recruiter called me, but once he contacted me, the entire process took less than a month. The first round of interviews was with the hiring manager and a colleague at my level. The second round of interviews was with my skip level manager and the managing director for the group. The interviews were all 30 minutes each and very relaxed, informal.
Interview Questions- There were no difficult questions, at all. The interviews were all conversational with general questions about my experience/background. I spent more time asking the interviewers questions and listening to them talk about their experiences than them asking me questions. Answer Question

Hi there Kerry

A Journey to the
Source of Inspiration
Life is a journey. Some people snap photos along the way. Others write stories. Some sketch. I cook. That's the best way I know to experience what life has to offer at every turn. I'm inviting you to join me on a creative journey. My goal is to have some fun and inspire you in your own cooking.
Great cooking doesn't have to be complicated. High-quality ingredients and simple methods are all you need. Mix in some good friends and great locations and you've got a truly transcendent experience. I want to show you how a simple meal becomes a shared adventure; the rewards are new insight into the nature of food and a deeper respect for food's meaning in our lives.
Over 10 years ago, I was introduced to City Harvest. Now serving New York City for 25 years, City Harvest is the world's first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city's hungry men, women and children. This year, City Harvest will collect 28 million pounds of excess food from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers and farms. This food is then delivered free of charge to nearly 600 community food programs throughout New York City using a fleet of trucks and bikes as well as volunteers on foot. Each week, City Harvest helps over 300,000 hungry New Yorkers find their next meal. Every day, Le Bernardin collects and donates unused food such as vegetables and fruit, bread, pastry, fish and other fresh food that City Harvest redistributes to shelters and agencies so it can be used to create meals.

UW-Marathon Announces Recruiting Class
Submitted: 04/25/2013
Story By UW-Marathon Co. Athletics
- The UWMC Huskies announced their recruiting class for next year. Two players from the Great Northern Conference have committed to joining the men's basketball program: Jonathan Nyberg, a 6'5" forward from Tomahawk and Brandon Piotrowski, a 6'5" forward from Mosinee.
The Central Wisconsin -10 conference is providing three student�athletes for the Huskies. Rosholt's Max Yenter (6'1" shooting guard) and Josh Studinski (6'1" guard) have indicated their intent to attend UW-Marathon. Gresham's Brady Hoffman (6'2" forward) is the third CW-10 player to commit. . Additionally, Weyawega-Fremont's Bryce Behn (6'4" shooting guard) has signed. Wega-Fremont is a CW-8 conference school.
UW-Marathon is coming off an unfamiliar 2nd place finish in Western division of the Wisconsin Collegiate Conference (WCC) with an 8-2 conference and 11-9 overall record. The addition of this new group should help bring the Huskies back to prominence in WCC play.
"These guys are all good students with great basketball skills" remarked Huskies' head coach Bill Gibbs. The Huskies will return 8 members of the 2012-13 campaign, 4 with starting experience. "This group coming in will have plenty of opportunity to contribute. I look forward to the elevated level of competition we can create" remarked Gibbs.

- Railroads across Wisconsin could start fining people who walk along railroad tracks. It's an effort to save lives after one of the most deadly years in the state's travel history. Eight people died in train-involved deaths in 2014. Newswatch 12's Karolina Buczek went to the Tomahawk Railway to find out why there are so many accidents and what can be done to stop them.
- Police departments can use social media to help their communities. But if it's used the wrong way it could be dangerous. A traffic app called Waze can be used to warn other drivers about where police are in the area. But some officers are worried it could be used to target police. Newswatch 12s Kaitlyn Howe will have more from a Northcentral Wisconsin police chief about how he feels about the app.
- And find out about the "Snow Days Sweepstakes" put on by the Rhinelander Chamber of Commerce.
We'll have the details on these stories and more tonight on Newswatch 12 - news from where you live.

Ford recalls 220,000 vehicles
Submitted: 01/28/2015
- Ford announced on Wednesday it's recalling 220,000 cars for safety reasons.
But one local dealer Newswatch 12 spoke with says car owners likely won't be able to get their cars fixed until March.
That's because Ford needs to make the part to fix one of the issues and then send it to the dealers. Ford told the dealer Newswatch 12 spoke with that the parts won't be delivered until March.
The company is recalling certain 2010 to 2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and Ford Police Interceptor sedans.

Eight people died in train-involved deaths in 2014, six more than in 2013. And 2015 already saw its first train-related death when a Milwaukee man was hit and killed on January 2.
Railroad experts say many accidents happen because trains can't stop fast enough.

How Xerox Can Help
System Requirements
The need for document print centers to be more productive and efficient while managing production schedules drives IT managers to Solimar. Their open systems solutions allow organizations to uniquely maximize their investments in legacy and contemporary applications and technologies. Experts in multi-channel document delivery, Solimar solutions streamline output workflows by enabling documents to be re-engineered instead of recomposed.

Recomposition is costly compared to reengineering. Making changes to legacy applications requires the use of reengineering tools as many applications cannot be recomposed.
Key Challenges
Inefficient methods for adding color document underlays
Limitations to accepting, processing, printing and archiving certain data stream types
Lack of uniform standardized processes
Slower than desired client project turnaround time
While most finishing devices have a set number of inserts that can be included with a bill, statement, or other customer communication, Rubika® enables companies to add literally an unlimited variety of inserts to their mailings.
With Rubika's intuitive graphical interface, users are not required to be highly skilled programmers. Users without a technical skill set can take full advantage of the system.
By using existing applications, Rubika® enables customers to make significant enhancements to print applications quickly – thereby providing a very attractive return on investment.
By adding color, barcodes, or even dynamic digital content, clients can now have a better and more valuable communication approach with their customers.
Why Choose Xerox?
As costs for color print continue to decrease, more companies are adopting strategies to produce customer-facing, transactional print in highlight and full color. Rubika® allows migrating from monochrome to highlight color or full color to enhance existing applications by dynamically replacing monochrome forms, fonts, logos, graphics, etc. with color resources.
Variable and static text is switched to color on demand.
By enhancing existing documents, migration time is greatly reduced and financial benefits are realized immediately.
Virtually any legacy data stream can now be easily enhanced and printed on any Xerox full color device.

Tony Allen to return |
04.01.09 at 3:04 pm ET |
After missing the last 22 games with a sprained left thumb, Tony Allen said after practice that he is looking forward to returning tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats.
"I'm going to give it a shot and see how it goes," the Boston Globe reported Allen as saying following this morning's shootaround. "Today is a big day for me. I'm not looking at going out and scoring 50 points, nothing like that. Just getting in a rhythm and getting a feel for my new teammates and just trying to do what I can do to help."
Allen has missed a total of 35 games this season. He figures to give the Celtics some much-needed depth off the bench as a defensive stopper. How much he plays is not certain and will likely be determined by his stamina and the game situation.
KG concern: He's the center of everything |
03.31.09 at 2:52 pm ET |
He hasn't been that big a player since coming to the Celtics in February but Mikki Moore spoke volumes on Tuesday when he spoke about the news that the team is shutting down Kevin Garnett for the time being with continuing right knee soreness.
"It's a big adjustment," said Moore, who will pick up the slack along with Glen Davis. "He's the center of everything. He's the vocal point of our defense and he enthuses guys to come out and play hard. We're going to miss his presence out on the floor but he's always in the locker room or on the sideline out there talking to us. We'll be alright."
Coach Doc Rivers is hopeful that Moore, Davis and Bill Walker can step into line of fire and help while KG gets his rest.
"He's been terrific," Rivers said of Davis. "Mikki has a big game the other night as well. Maybe that's the silver lining, that Mikki and Big Baby are playing more. Steph is getting more minutes due to the fact that we just don't have enough bodies and Billy Walker is playing more so maybe that is a silver lining."
As for others who just became more important, Rivers knows the burden falls to Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.
"We're not going to play them more minutes but clearly there's more pressure on them," Rivers said. "I understand that. That may be a reason to cut their minutes a little bit as well. Bottom line is we're going to be healthy when playoffs start and we're going to do whatever we can to have the legs."
Then there were the following words from Kendrick Perkins.
"We have to do it as a team," Perkins said. "For sure, I have to do a better job of communicating on the floor and talking the defense out."
Perkins can read the writing on the wall about the team's chances if KG isn't fully recovered.
"There's always concern," Perkins said. "A guy that has a month off from rest, comes back and he's still not fully recovered. It's still kind of scary. But then again, you're dealing with a warrior, so he'll find a way to get back.
"When he was out there, he wasn't 100 percent, you could tell. The biggest thing is, we've got two-to-three weeks before the playoffs and we just want Kevin to be healthy, get treatment, messages and go from there," Perkins added.
Doc on shutting down Garnett |
03.31.09 at 2:12 pm ET |
Doc Rivers began his briefing with reporters on Tuesday with the following statement about Kevin Garnett's right knee.
"After watching him move today, we're just going to shut him down," Rivers said. "It probably won't be for the year. He'll probably play by the end, last couple of games, or last three games. It's just not progressing the way we anticipated it would progress. So, instead of going back and forth, trying to get him run in practice and seeing he gets sore, it's just not worth it."
Garnett experienced continued soreness in the knee, first injured on Feb. 19 at Utah.
Here are some of the other quotes from Rivers on Tuesday:
Any second guessing on bring him back after 13 games: "We thought it was the right decision and the doctors thought it was the right decision. Again, I told you that I wasn't going to play him until the doctors said, 'play him.' With half the people it's fine and half it's not. Unfortunately, he's in the 'not' category right now."
On working him out in practice before making Tuesday's decision: "We assumed we were going to practice him and right now, we're not even going to do that. We're going to shut him down until the soreness goes away and the swelling goes away and then we bring him back up."
On the seriousness of the injury: "We're just going to shut him down until we feel like he's ready. It's nothing structural. It's the same thing that it's been. It's just not reacting the same way we thought it would react. He didn't react to the games we thought he would and he's clearly not reacting to practice the way we thought he would."
Celtics shut down Kevin Garnett |
03.31.09 at 1:14 pm ET |
Kevin Garnett will be shut down for the foreseeable future, Doc Rivers told reporters following today's Celtics practice.
Garnett missed 13 games with what the team called a right knee strain, during which time the Celtics went 7-6 and fell out of the race with Cleveland for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. He returned on March 20 to help the Celtics win three straight, but played limited minutes, and was held out of their games with Atlanta and Oklahoma City.
On Sunday, Doc Rivers said it was likely Garnett would miss tomorrow's game with Charlotte but might be able to go on Friday against the Hawks. Today's development changes that, obviously, and for the time being it appears that the Celtics do not have a timetable for his return.
Garnett's absence, coupled with that of Leon Powe, has left the Celtics with just three healthy big men–Kendrick Perkins, Glen Davis and Mikki Moore–and with Powe not scheduled to return until the end of the regular season at the earliest, the C's are in a bind as they prepare for the playoffs. Rookie Bill Walker has seen his minutes increase slightly and was on the floor in a smallish lineup against the Thunder that had him essentially playing the big forward spot.
Rivers noted a few weeks ago that the team's priorities were getting healthy and staying in front of Orlando for the second seed, and definitely in that order. The team's decision to shelve KG confirms that line of thinking.
With seven games left in the regular season the Celtics are locked into either the No. 2 or No. 3 seed (they could technically still overtake Cleveland but it's highly doubtful), and they appear rather unconcerned about the possibility of falling behind the Magic.
With little or no incentive to grind out the rest of the regular season, the move makes sense, but at issue for Rivers and the team is figuring out roles and the rotation for the playoffs, something that has been impossible to sort through while the Celtics battle through injuries to four key players.
No NCAA Tourney Regrets for Perkins |
03.31.09 at 8:00 am ET |
Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett are the only members of the Boston Celtics to go straight from high school to the NBA. Of their teammates who chose the NCAA, nearly all of them experienced March Madness.
Even though Perkins made an early jump to the pros, the 2003 Clifton J. Ozen High School graduate still gets caught up in the excitement of the NCAA Tournament.
'It's fun because I've been watching a lot of games,' he said. 'It's been very interesting just watching all the buzzer beaters, teams getting upset.'
So while Paul Pierce watched Kansas try to defend its NCAA title and Ray Allen basked in the glory of UConn's Final Fourth berth, does Perkins ever wish he was part of that?
'No,' he said without hesitation. 'I don't think anything substitutes for being in the NBA. It's like, I've never known what it's like to be in college so I never have any regrets or anything like that.'
It's easier for Perkins to have no regrets when he can place his world championship ring next to his high school diploma.
Mikki and Steph settle in |
03.29.09 at 10:54 pm ET |
Mikki Moore had just checked into the game when Paul Pierce hit him for an easy dunk. It was as if the light had switched on for the veteran forward. Twenty-seven minutes later, Moore had his best game as Celtic with 12 points and 10 rebounds in their win over the Thunder Sunday (click here for a recap) and he allowed himself a smile when asked about it afterward.
"It felt pretty good," Moore said. "My teammates have been great. They've been real supportive. They just said, 'Relax and play.' I let the game come to me."
Stephon Marbury had his own breakout game the other night against Atlanta, and while he scored only two points against Oklahoma City, he had seven assists and continued to impress as a facilitator, particularly to Eddie House who dropped in 16 points. "I love playing with guys who can shoot," Marbury said. "I played with Allan Houston (in New York) and I made it my business to get him the ball."
Slowly, but surely it's starting to come together for the Celtics late-season additions and with injuries holding back Kevin Garnett it couldn't have come at a better time as the C's try to stay ahead of Orlando for the second spot in the East. But finishing ahead of the Magic is less important to Doc Rivers then getting his team healthy and ready for the playoffs. To that end the coach is encouraged by what he's seen of Moore and Marbury.
"Slowly, but it's coming," Rivers said. "The only thing I told Steph at halftime is I thought he had open shots and he was thinking pass. Even the one, you remember when he bobbled it out of bounds, that was a layup but you could see him. He was catching the ball to pass. He has great instincts and I thought he did that in the second half. And Mikki's starting to understand when he's open, shoot the ball, because he can really shoot the ball. Honestly, I thought he didn't think he was worthy. It's an adjustment when you're on the floor with Paul, Ray (Allen) and Kevin (Garnett). You're open and you think that there's no way I should shoot the ball."
Adjusting to the Celtics way has been tricky for Moore. Not only is he learning to be more aggressive offensively, he's also learning to adjust to the way the Celtics play defense. It's a different kind of strategy then most teams play, and after his experiences in Sacramento (not exactly a defense-first team), he's had to unlearn some bad habits.
"Letting go," Moore said. "Knowing that if I leave my man somebody will help me. That's the biggest thing. When I got here my reaction time was slow. I was worried about leaving my man. Everybody was telling me, your man is not your man anymore."
That's been the interesting thing with this group of additions. Unlike last year when PJ Brown arrived with a career's worth of defensive training and unselfish mindset, Moore and Marbury have had a little bit more of an adjustment. With the Celtics it's not just being unselfish, it's being willing to do what is necessary, be it looking for your shot or finding the open man.
Marbury noted that his game was not to be a high-volume shooter in the past. "I shoot when I feel it," he said. "I like to take shots that I think I can make."
But playing with the second unit requires Marbury to not just facilitate, but to take the offense by the throat on occasion, and to that end he feels like his legs are finally starting to come around.
"I'm definitely more comfortable with the system," Marbury said. "I feel like I'm turning the corner on the pick and roll and trying to get guys open shots."
The guy Sunday night was House who was a high-volume shooter (15 shots to get 16 points), but after starting the game 1-for-5, House heated up in the second half when the Celtics made their move. The two have fit in better as the backup backcourt than anyone could have expected. "He told me a few games back that he likes to get the ball in the open court because that's when he's at his best," House said of Marbury. "If I get a rebound or somebody kicks it to me I look for him immediately. He's going to make something happen."
There's still work to be done. Moore noted in the locker room that he was looking forward to some practice time this week because both he and Marbury have had to learn their roles in games. Looking forward to practice? Definitely spoken like a true Celtic.
Celtics teach history lesson |
03.29.09 at 10:37 pm ET |
On paper the biggest difference between the Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder is their records. The Celtics are atop the Atlantic Division with 60 wins while the Thunder have 40 less. But the Celtics also have an advantage that the Thunder cannot attain in a single season ' one of the deepest histories in the NBA.
On Sunday the Thunder made the first trip of their inaugural season the TD BankNorth Garden. (Click here for the recap of the Celtics 103-84 win.) The Celtics legacy was not lost on the Thunder squad.
'Inspirational,' Jeff Green said of playing in the Garden. 'That's the point we want to get at. They won championships and that's what we want to do. But it takes a lot of focus. You've got to play defense. This is our first season. It's going to take some time. We've got to be patient, we've got to continue to work hard to get to the point where stuff is working.'
Green was drafted by the Celtics in 2007 and traded to the then-Seattle SuperSonics as part of the Ray Allen deal. He played in Boston last season but this time it was different in a Thunder uniform.
'We have to establish who we want to be,' he said. 'As of right now, we're working on that. But we want to be a defensive-minded team. We want to be able to stop people when it counts. We want to be able to make our opportunities count when we get those stops. And I think right now we're in the process of forming our identity but we've just got to continue to work at it.'
Rookie Russell Westbrook also has his own ties to the Celtics. The Lawndale, California native, and former UCLA Bruin, grew up as a Los Angeles Lakers fan. Even though he rooted against the Celtics, he appreciates their tradition.
'It's kind of like a dream come true growing up, watching the Celtics and Lakers play,' Westbrook said of his first game in Boston. 'I've seen the old games and things like that. It's kind of where you planned on being announced.'
Thunder head coach Scott Brooks hopes his young team will learn a thing or two from the Celtics victory.
'One of things that we will learn is, pick up from this team, is there is a reason why they are a championship team,' he said. 'They compete every time they are on the court. They execute throughout the game. They don't just do it in spurts. It's something that we have to continue to get better at — play 48 minutes of execution and do a better job of just playing with toughness down the stretch.'
Xs and Os aside, the Thunder can take more than a loss away with them.
'It motivates you to want to get better, to want to be at that championship level,' Green said. 'It's an honor to play in a building where some of the greats, Bill Russell, who have banners hanging up, Larry Bird, Parish, all those guys. They paved the way and made it possible to do what we do today. But we've got to build our own type of history. We have to start somewhere. And I think the more that we work, the better and better we get and the closer we wil get to that championship level.'

This week's Up 'N Sludgers are called 5 Knuckle Shuffle.
They're from Ohio and recently turned down a gig opening for W.A.S.P. due to
too many restrictions. We thought they might have a good story or two, and damned
if we weren't right about that! Their singer/guitarist Eric Mangle stepped up
to the plate and answered everything we wanted to know. Read on and enjoy.
1. Who the fuck are you and where can people
find out shit about your band?
are 5 Knuckle Shuffle and we can be found at http://www.fuzzrecordingstudio.com/5KS/news.htm.
We are a 3-piece group in the great state of OHIO. We are trying to bring solos
back to this music world filled with upset crybaby motherfuckers. Get over your
childhood. We all had problems. Guitar players now don't even try to solo. It's
like they have never heard one before. It's like some bands don't even know
what a pentatonic scale is for God's sake. We are just a couple of diehard metal
fans that are making our mark on the world one show at a time. We love what
we do and every person that nods along with our music.
2. Recently, 5 Knuckle Shuffle was supposed to
open for W.A.S.P., but then you guys turned down the gig. Why?
We turned down a gig with WASP. I've been asked a few
times why we said no. Well here are a few reasons.
1. Drummers kit must be no more than 4′ by 4′ in total
2. Guitar rigs must be off the stage and run thru a mix off set from the side
of the stage.
3. Bass rigs must be off the stage and run thru a mix off set from the side
of the stage.
4. Singers must not use Mr. Lawless' mic stand by any means.
5. Mr. Lawless shall not be disturbed prior to the show by opening acts if they
are not under company contract.
6. Mr. Lawless will dine 1 hour prior to the show. All acts must leave dinning
area when he arrives.
7. Supporting acts must not use a wireless system for vocals or guitars.
What kind of bullshit is that? I mean seriously! I've
been treated better by better bands than WASP. I've been treated better by worse
bands too. For GOD'S sake, Mushroomhead gave us 2 – 30 packs of brew. I won't
say what else has been offered to us by venues and other bands but you get the
idea. Who gives a shit about Blackie's fucking mic stand!?! I know I sure as
FUCK WASP! or should I say Blackie…
3. What exactly is the goal for your little band?
We just want to play and have fucking fun. If you're
not having fun, pack it the fuck up and move on to selling shoes! Getting a
deal would be nice too. Here is to wishing.
5 Knuckle Shuffle's Eric and Dave enjoy the fruits of
their labor
4. You guys used to be from the Delaware/Maryland
area, but then loaded up the truck and moved to Ohio. What prompted this decision,
and why did you relocate to Ohio of all places?
Well, my wife and I got divorced. My brother and his
wife wanted to move back to Ohio where she grew up. I said fuck it bro, lets
roll out there. Our bass player at the time was not able to move so we grabbed
the first good, crazy bass player we found out here in Ohio.
5. Of the following, which do you prefer and
Tattoos or piercings = Tattoos

Motley Crue or Guns 'N Roses = 1st album Guns N

Kevin was worried about his vocal processor being messed with. Besides that
and Kevin's sad ass wig they were ok. Rudy had some killer smoke. We sat on
the bus for a bit and got tore up.
Mushroomhead – Best group of guys we have played with.
Very cool and polite. Made sure that we were set with everything. Their techs
even helped us with a few things. How rare is that? I give them 666 thumbs up!
Powerman 5000 – Laid back and cool, a little private.
Not much to say. Rob has better stage presence though.
Disturbed – Fucking great guys, the BBQs are the shit
if you ever get the chance to hang with them after a show.
Great White – (ASSHOLES!) Did I mention they were assholes?
Jack was so into making sure we knew what was his. He fell over a cooler trying
to point out HIS RIDER ITEMS.
Fuel – Kinda lame ass fuckers. Didn't want to mingle
with people. Reminded me of a bunch of old guys.
Ace Frehley – Asshole at first and very pushy. Then he

Payments good, speculation bad (332 comments)
I'm in favor of a fast, cheap, reliable payment system, and that aspect of bitcoin is certainly appealing. But I'm totally against the speculative aspect of bitcoin (which is what I believe 99% of its proponents are *really* interested in). 80% of bitcoins are held by 1% of wallets, and the holders of these wallets are dearly hoping that the general public will buy into the idea of bitcoin with "real" money. Sorry, it ain't gonna be my real money.

In my experience this is fairly typical of large corporations. They DO have a lot of dead wood, mostly in the form of bloated middle management. But unsurprisingly, those are NOT the people they fire during layoffs.

My understanding of "homebrew" is that it's really a code word for cracking the platform, i.e. providing a way for users to play games on the console without owning a physical copy of the game. So in that light I can understand why Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft would be trying to make it go away.
I'm sure that people in the homebrew community would disagree with this, but for every enthusiast, there are probably 100 or 1000 people who would like to build a huge library of free games, enabled by a hack developed by one of the enthusiasts. And this would easily explain the interest in closed platforms.

XP itself never crashed(BSOD'd) unless you had serious hardware (or later, malware when it became sufficiently virulent) problems.
I distinctly remember an occasion about 5 years ago when I logged in to my office PC (running XP) from home, I believe using Citrix. That was in the morning, to get something done early. I did my stuff, then closed the Citrix session and headed in to the office -- but that didn't terminate the session, it just paused it. At my desk, for some reason I opened that Citrix session again, this time from my desktop PC itself. For about a second I saw a "two mirrors facing each other" type of thing, as it tried to show my desktop in a window on my desktop, and another one inside of that one, etc. Then XP blue-screened. It didn't seem like a hardware thing, and that's about the only blue-screen I can remember.

Re:It won't matter (461 comments)
I think it's amusing that Penguin is involved here (although it may as well be any publisher for this particular story).
When Penguin was founded in the 1930s, they were probably as much of a disruptive force as Amazon is now. Paperbacks were pretty much unheard of. At the time new books -- which meant cloth-bound books -- generally cost about 6 shillings, or say about 20-30 pounds in today's UK money, or 40-60 US$. The first Pengins were sold for 6 pence, or 2-3 pounds, or 4-6 US$. All the original Penguins were reprints, i.e. not new original works but titles licensed from other publishers. The public reaction was positive. The publishing community started with an attitude of amused skepticism, and soon evolved to something like fear, as they watched Penguin cannibalize their sales.
These days Penguin is still around, having outlived and/or absorbed most of the old British publishing companies. It's interesting to think that they might be confronting an upheaval in the industry similar to the one they caused themselves 80 years ago.

Re:Aww, checks! (494 comments)
"That will be $1.99, sir."
"One dollar and ninety-nine cents," I say, taking my delicious time. I pause, look at the cashier, pause again, and then break into a slow grin. "One full dollar, plus ninety-nine one-hundredths of a dollar..."
I then reach into my breast pocket and leisurely extract my slim, calf-bound check book, artfully raising an eyebrow as I do so. Extracting it approximately 50%, so that the cashier gets a glimpse of it, I ask, "Do you take... checks?"
"Of course, sir."
A satisfied, elegant, slightly ironic smile breaks over my face as I fully extract the check book and lay it on the counter. I cast my eyes about for a pen. The cashier offers a battered blue Bic. I visually inspect it and decline with a wry and rueful grin. My left hand rises slowly and deliberately to my other breast pocket, and eventually emerges holding a dark and slender pen. A fountain pen, its barrel chased with gold and etched with mysterious swirls.
And although at this point the store closed for the night and I had to leave without completing my transaction, I think you'll get some taste of the elegance of paying for a purchase with a check.

Re:Why the outrage? (334 comments)
That's not "putting in another way", it's two completely different points.
OK, I thought the reason for the "outrage" was that people were listening to stuff that the RIAA didn't want them listening to (a leaked U2 album), and CBS was able to identify these people via their last.fm logs. My point is, why would these people do such a dangerous thing when they know that last.fm is owned by a major media company? I could see it being not too unreasonable if last.fm was independent, but as things are, it seems to be just asking for trouble. Similarly, for CBS to not pursue this would be troublesome for them, since I'm sure they don't want their last.fm property to get a reputation as a hangout for pirates/downloaders/etc.
Re:Why the outrage? (334 comments)
Ah... I know I have lots of records on CBS (UK/Japan) and Columbia (US), but I guess those are mostly older.
It looks like there's an effort to revive the CBS music brand, though there are so few artists that I don't see why they would go to the trouble of checking out last.fm users' logs.
Still, I would be suspicious on principle. I can imagine CBS being friendly with other big media companies, including RIAA music companies...
Why the outrage? (334 comments)
If last.fm sold out to CBS for 140 million pounds, why should anyone be outraged if CBS is using the last.fm user info like this? CBS is one of the major labels controlling the RIAA actions. Why wouldn't they do this? Or to put it another way, why would a user stick with last.fm after it sold out to a CBS?

Sandy Spring CSA
Loving the amount and variety
By: Annie Rie (Jul 12, 2011)
This is our first CSA. We love what we get. 12-14 items each week. A Swap Box if there is something we already grow, like some of the herbs.
The quality is outstanding. The mushrooms in the spring were a welcome treat. This week's box again has new items like white beets and black bean shoots we never had in previous weeks. Pick up is easy and convenient.
The CSA has two ways to communicate. The Lancaster Farm Fresh newsletter and the weekly email from Sandy Spring. Both have recipes, tips and there are profiles of the farmers in the cooperative. The fact that there are dozens of farmers helps, in the variety of produce, and the interesting choices like the mushrooms.
We definitely will be renewing for 2012.

AGUA PRIETA, Mexico - There are now nine people confirmed dead as result of a flooded river near Agua Prieta, Mexico that grew so large it swept away several vehicles.
In addition to those found dead, Mexican media reports 25 people were found uninjured while two more people are still missing.
A statement from officials in Sonora State says more than 200 rescue crews were searching Tuesday for those missing in and around the Cabullona River in the municipality of Agua Prieta, which is across the border from Douglas, Arizona.
It says a group of about 35 people in 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and ATVs were leaving the area Sunday when one of the vehicles got stuck in the river. When people in other vehicles tried to help them, the river swept them away.

The Instagram Superbowl: 49ers vs Ravens on Social Media
Posted on January 31st 2013
Finally, the Superbowl XLVII is right around the corner.
In just a few days, the San Francisco 49ers will face the Baltimore Ravens in the game that will crown this season's NFL champion. As both teams prepare to deploy their A-game on Sunday, another battle is being waged...On Instagram.
@49ers and @Ravens are already at it, actively nurturing their brand image with the mobile photo app. Hashtagging photos, motivating their fans, delighting them with backstage glimpses that they wouldn't have dared dream of before Instagram was around... All in all, both teams are applying the best known methods in Instagram marketing, and seemingly making no mistake about it.
photo credit: @49ers and @ravensSo, both know what they're doing. That should make for an interesting Instagram Superbowl. We're going to look at the teams' accounts first, and then we'll dive into the Instagram community at large. Let the game begin.
1. Official Accounts
Followers count
TeamFollowers49ers255,000Ravens82,000as of Jan 29The 49ers have a big head start here. With 255K fans on Instagram, they're the most followed team on the NFL. But do they know how to make these 255K people happier than the Raven's 82K? We can assess that by comparing the teams' engagement rates.
Engagement Rates (ER)
The Average ER shows the percentage of followers who like a photo posted by the official account. We came up with the right formula for it: ((total Likes / number of photos posted on a given day) / number of followers) x 100 = Average ER @49ers ((220427 / 7) / 255000) x 100 = 12.35% @ravens ((181996 / 22) / 82000) x 100 = 10.09% 12.35% to 10.09%? That's just a field goal for the 49ers, giving them a feeble 3 points lead. How will the Ravens react to that?
photo credit: @NFL
InstagramFact: Most NFL teams have an official account on Instagram. The NFL itself has one. Last year's Superbowl contestants Patriots and NY Giants have one. Here's the full list of the NFL teams on Instagram
2. Community
To analyze the community, we look at the Instagram ecosystem as a whole to see how the 2 teams fare outside of their own accounts. In order to do so, we measure the popularity of the hasthags that best define them: We'll use #NFCchamps and #QuestForSix (As in: "Quest for our 6th win at the Superbowl") for the 49ers, #AFCchamps and #SBRavens for the Ravens.
Unsolicited activity (Spontaneous posts on Instagram)
Both teams qualified for the Superbowl when they became champions of their respective conference. On January 20, #NFCchamps buzzed when the 49ers won, and #AFCchamps, when the Raven's did. This graph shows the number of photos shared on each hashtags over time:
The 49ers' qualification to the Superbowl was more polarizing than that of the Ravens, and initiated more Instagram posts.
Solicited activity (Encouraged by the teams)
Part of managing a community on Instagram is on motivating content creation through hashtags. The 49ers invented #QuestForSix to rally their fans around the prospect of winning the Superbowl again, while the Ravens are promoting #SBRavens on their official website. Here's the amount of photos shared on both hashtags:
That's a very clean touchdown for The Niners. They took initiative and scored big. The score is now 49ers - 9, Ravens - 0.In addition to being first movers, here's what they did right:
- They have been actively captioning their photos with #QuestForSix for quite some time now
- They're moving things forward with a contest and a dedicated web-page incentivizing User Generated Content
- They have created a second page to feature this Content
That's what we call pushing the envelope and federating your community. After the PAT try, the 49ers now lead 10 to 0. A honorable mention goes to the Ravens for not giving up. They reacted by promoting their own hashtag on their page:
As far as we can tell, that was their only response, with no dedicated page or contest in sight. Not exactly the fireworks we'd expect them to pull off, but a valiant safety score for 2 points, and Raven's saving grace.
10 - 2
10-2 is the end score, The 49ers win the Instagram Superbowl! We're curious to see how things go on Sunday. Not only on the field, but on social media as well. Instagram might even break its activity record, set on Thanksgiving 2012. What do you think?

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was on Monday given permission to take to the Supreme Court his year-long legal battle against extradition to Sweden over allegations of sexual misconduct brought by two Swedish women.
The High Court in London certified that the case raised ``a question of general public importance'' and should be heard by the highest court.
But he still does not have an automatic right to be heard and it remains for the Supreme Court to decide whether to give him actual leave to appeal.
Mr Assange's legal team has 14 days to submit a written petition to the Supreme Court. His lawyer, Gareth Peirce, said if the court refused to hear it, he would have exhausted all legal avenues in Britain.
However, he can still approach the European Court of Human Rights.
Mr Assange, who was present in the court, welcomed the verdict and said that the issues raised by his case could be of assistance to other similar cases. The ``long struggle'' for justice him and others in a similar situation continued, he declared.
Speaking to reporters, he said: "Today the High Court has decided that an issue that arises from my own case is of general public importance and may be of assistance to other cases and should be heard by the Supreme Court, I think that is the correct decision, and I am thankful. The long struggle for justice for me and others continues."
As he left the court, he was cheered by supporters who raised slogans demanding his freedom.
Monday's proceedings flowed from a ruling of the High Court on November 2 which upheld a magistrate's verdict, handed down in February, that he should be extradited. However, it said that he could approach the Supreme Court after seeking its (High Court's) permission on grounds that the case raised `` a question of law of general public importance".
Mr Assange's lawyers argued that his extradition would be unlawful because the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) on the basis of which he was arrested was invalid as it had been issued by a prosecutor, and not a "judicial authority".
The Supreme Court, they said, should decide whether he could be extradited on the basis of a warrant issued by a "partisan prosecutor working for the executive" and whether he could be defined as "the accused" even though no decision has been taken to prosecute him.
"Public prosecutors should not, in any circumstances, be permitted to issue EAWs," said Mark Summers, appearing for Mr Assange.
